Worker Sub-Type: Regular Job Description: Shape the software foundation behind the next generation of intelligent, sensor-driven systems. At QNX, our Sensor Framework team is developing a high-performance, scalable framework that enables applications to interact seamlessly with cameras and other sensors on QNX-based systems. Providing robust C/C++ APIs for technologies including cameras, LiDAR, radar and GPS/IMU, the framework supports sophisticated applications across Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), robotics and medical devices. We’re looking for an accomplished Senior Embedded Software Developer who thrives on solving complex, low-level engineering challenges and wants to take significant technical ownership within a sophisticated embedded environment. This is an opportunity to work where embedded software, advanced silicon and sensor technology converge. You’ll tackle challenging engineering problems that require you to get close to both the hardware and software, while contributing to technology that can enable sophisticated systems across automotive, robotics and medical applications. If you’re a senior embedded developer who enjoys solving the hard problems, influencing technical direction and building robust software for complex real-world systems, we’d love to hear from you. What you’ll do As a senior member of the team, you’ll contribute to the design and evolution of the Sensor Framework, tackling complex integration challenges and helping deliver scalable, high-performance solutions across new sensors and hardware platforms.
